I bet, they are a great looking bike, and with lockable hardbags you get security with it to lock up things you being with you

Stop the madness. The only real chicks bike is the Sportster. If everyone continues to bitch out the Switchback, what will us poor Sporty riders have to complain about?

I think the switchback is a badass bike. A Stock 103 in a dyna frame, come on now, that's just cool.

Personally, I like the look of the Switchback. Just wish they would have made that model in 2000 when I got my Fatboy. Still love the Fatboy, but the Switchback would have given me another choice based on styling.

Bingo on the old FLH look. Let's be honest, the newer (post-shovel) touring bikes are lay-z-boys on wheels designed to float you along on a cloud of poofiness. Hey I don't mind, I bought a RK cause I want poofy. The Switchback is more back to the days of sport touring.

You will probably have to yell pretty loud when you insult someone riding it on the road as they blow buy your Ultra that's barfing along with 300 extra pounds of plastic weighing it down.
